SOCIETY FOR THE PROMOTION OF UNIVERSAL PEACE. The annual meeting of the " Universal Peace Society" was held on Tuesday evening, in the Meeting House of the Society of Friends, Houndsditch. The building was crowded by a large and very respect able audience. Edward Bailie', Esq , M.P. for Leeds, was called to the chair, amid the rapturous plaudit; of the meeting, We observed on the platform, among other gentlemen of note in the religious and phi lanthropic world, John Rundell, Esq., M.P. for the Borough of stock, the Res , . Dr. Pye Smith, Rev. Dr. Bennett, Rev. Mr. Hargraves, Rev. John Woodwark, Rev. Mr, Meadows, Rev. Ezra S. Connctt, Lieutenant John Humley, R.N., &c., &c. George Thompson, Esq., the popular and eloquent lecturer on the slave question, entered the house in the course of the evening, and his appearance was warmly applauded by the meeting. Mr. BAINES, in rising to open the business of the evening, was re ceived with renewed cheering. The Hen. Gentleman said he had much pleasure, and no smell pride, in presiding over a meeting haring in view such a glorious Object as the promotion of permanent and universal peace.—(Cheers.) It was an object which ought to be dear to the bosenr of every truly benevolent man--dear to the purer feelings of hu manity; and yet, he was sorry to say, it was an object not sufficiently appreciated end supported by the ministers of congregations and heads of families in this country.—(hear, hear.) He hoped, how_ ever, that in the course of the evening, statements would be made of the cheering progress of the principles of peace in the United States of America, which would have the salutary effect of stimulating and ex citing the people of England to a betten sense of their duty and respon sibility with regard to this high ancl holy subject.—(Loud cheers.) The Redeemer of Earth was called " The Prime of Peace," and he (Mr. Baines) was ambitious of being called the friend and servant of peace.— (Renewed applause.) To bear such an honourable title was far superior to the glittering tinsel of camps and Courts. He confessed that he at tended that evening under some inconvenience—he did not mean per sonal inconvenience, for that he cared not—but inconvenience to a cause a discussion on which is going on in another place, and which re quired his, attendance—(Hear.) He was sure, therefore, that, having redeemed his pledge to take the Chair en the occasion of their meeting, they would not find fault if he abdicated it sooner than might have been ex pected.lie would leave the company, but he hope 1 they would give him cre dit for saying that he would not leave the cause which they were met that night to support ; for he would go in favour of freedom, peace, and per feet liberty.—(lmmense cheering.) He would leave them only to go and prosecute their cause in another place, where it required all the support which its friends could award.—(Bear.) Under other circum stances he would have been most happy to have remained among them; and he hoped that his departure would be ascribed to any other motive thee want of attachment to the cause and principles of universal peace. Mr. Baines having announced that George Bennett, Esq. had con. Rented to take the Chair in his absence, then left the room amid the cheers of the meeting, to give his vote in the Mouse of Commons on Sir E. Wilinot's motion on slavery. The SECRETARY then read the report of the Society's proceedings during the past year, which was ofa very gratifying nature, end elicited through. out its perusal great approbation. Besides the extensive distribution of tracts and books during the year, lectures had been delivered in varietis parts of the country with much suc-ess. The amount of receipts from subscriptions, donations, and the sale of tracts amounted to 565/. I4v. Sit., and in addition to this the Committee had to acknowledge a legacy of 1 0 el. The report stated that the principles of the Society were rapidly progressing in America, and the differept religious Societies of that country seldom parted at their annual meetings without passing resolu_ lions in favour of pence.—(Cheers) The report regretted that the re ligious Societies of England did not adopt such an excellent plan. The CIIAIR7.IAN then called upon - 1 The Rev. JOZIN WOODWARE to move the first resolution which w to the following effect : " That the Report now read be received and adopted, and printed a circulated under the direction of the Committee ; and that the Secretary and other officers of the Society be requested to continue their services for the ensuing year."—(Cheers.) The Rev. Gentleman said ho owed it to the profession to which he belonged, and to his principles, not to shrink from the candid and open avowal of his attachment to the Society whose anniversary they were that day celebrating.—(Cheers.) He held that no man who took the New Testament as his guide could ever entertain the question whether war was contrary to its genius or not.—(Hear.) He was quite prepared to think that, in the present state of society, war might in certain cases be unavoidaLle ; but it was rot, therefore, to be declared lawful, or cen. sietect with the Divine will —(Hear, hear.) He perfectly agreed with that part of the report which stated much good might be done by religi ons ministers of all denominations, making the subject of war a constant theme of their discourses to their flocks ; and it was highly necessary and important that every Christian teacher shoal be instructed to instil the principles which they were now met to propagate, into the hearts and minds of their pupils.—(Cheers.) He, for his own part, spoke as a Christian parent, and aehmigh he hail no son who was likely to grow up and become attached to the profession of arms, yet lie had daughters, upon whoseminds he haul lost no opportunity of impressing those doctrines.— (Cheers.) It was imperative upon all Christian fathers to make war and its dreadful and devastating effects, the subject of conversation with their children —(Hear, hear.) Twenty years ago the very children caught the spirit of the times, and regarded war and its glories with admiration and delight ; but it was the duty of every father to strip war of its tinsel and its gildine, and to set it before his children in its real and hideous de onnity —(Loud cheers.) The Rev. Gentleman concluded by proposing the first resolution, which includes a vote of thanks to the Treasurer, Secretary, and other members of the Committee, trod the request of the sneeting to continue their services. The Rev. Mr. Ileenneves, Home-Secretary, seconded the resolution. War, said the Rev. Gentleman is a " Monster of such hideous it sin Teat te be hated needs but to be seen " /Cheers.) They had often heard people talk of the necessity, the ex pediency and the policy of war. 'These reasons for the continuation of war were very undefined. Napoleon upon his deate-bed had consoled bin - vet' by saying that durirg all " the battles, sieges, fortunes, he had passed" Ise had never been the aggressor..—( A laugh.) If Buonaparte made that plea, so might the most ruthless warrior that ever lived, and the principle of defensive war once admitted, they woidd open a wide field indeed, for he never knew an aggressor yet that did not a , s,rt that he acted on the clef ensive.—(llear, hear.) He (Mr. Hargraves; would admit no tied of war, either offensive or defensive, for the swore seas an unnecessary, an unjust, and a cruel arbiter.—(Cheers.) To talk of war being expedient, politic, and wise, was to talk in a language which he did tot understand —(Hear, hear.) Wes it expedient, he would ask, to burn the habitations of their fellow men to to devastate whole villages, and to commit their unoffending inhabi t:mt.% man, woman, and child, to indiscriminate slaughter ?—(Hear, hear) Was it expedient to saddle the country with the immense sums of money, which were expended in the perpetration of these barbarous cruelties ?—(Loud cheers.) During the. twenty years which had occurred in the recollection of many present, no less a sum than one thousand one hundred and seventy-five millions of money had been expended. Was this, he would ask, expedient.—(('beers) Dur. ing that war fire millions of their' fellow men bad perished by the sword. Was that expedient ?—(Loud cries of "No, no.") Where, then was the expedi ncy, the policy, or the wisdem of war ?—(Loud Cheers.) Could it possibly be in a moral point of view ? Was the fleet and the camp a fit place for the encouragement of morality ?—(Cheers.) But he heard talk of the honour of war and the glories of victory— (Hear.) Ile held in his hand the prayer of Lord Nelson, written by himself, a few hours before he received the fatal wound that terminated his existence, in which he prayed for his country a great and glorious victory, and that afterwards humanity might be the predominent fea ture of the British character.—(tlear, hear, and loud cheers.) In his (Mr. Ilargraves) opinion a glorious victory involved a terrible destruction, and it was impossible they could pray that one side might win, without praying that the other might lose.—(Cheers.) The glories of war ? Oh 1 let them strip the warrior naked, and look upon their green and beautiful fields saturated with human gore. Let them contemplate the rivers of tears shed by the widowed wives and fa therless children of the slain, and then let them boast of the glories of war.—(Applause.) But what divine precedents could they adduce in support of such practices. Moses forbade a soldier to camp fora certain time, and David would not be allowed to build the house of God because he was a man of war.—(Cheers.) He was aware that he was trespassing at too great a length upon the attention of the meeting—(Cries of " no, no,")—but there was one subject to which he wished to allude before he sat down, and that was the subject of slavery.—(Hear, hear.) They were all honestly, conscientiously and determinedly, opposed to seavery, and heartily desired that at the proposed time the negro apprenticeship should end.—(Cheers.) Such opinions were congenial with the principles they had met to enforce, for it could not be contended but that slavery was the child of war.— (Loud cheers,) Oh, how he relished that a Sturges or a Brougham, or a Thompson would discuss the question of slavery in reference to this subject, and regard it merely as a branch of the tree of vat.—(Cheers,) He wished that some independent Member in his place in the House of Commons would inquire why so great an aug mentation had taken place in their army and navy, during a period of such profound peace.—(Hear, hear.) In his opinion, the money ex pended on those purposes in England and Ireland would be better employed for purposes of education.—(Cheers.) He would conclude by advising them to cast out of their houses all drums and fifes, and such like warlike toys with which many of them, no doubt, allowed their chit. dren to bo amused, and all pictures pourtraying the triumphs end glories of bloodshed—he would have torn and cast into the fire.— (Cheers) He would not have trespassed thus far upon their time, only for a sense of duty which, as a Christian, he owed to his fellow - ex:attires on whom he wished to impress the truth and necessity of that divine doctrine which taught " Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and good-will to all men." (The Rev. Gentleman sat amidst loud and long continued applause.) 'I he Rev. Dr. Pee Surnoin a speech in which he was very inaudible, proposed the next resolution : " That this meeting considers that the progress of pacific principles, espet laity in America, Is a loud call for gratitude to God, the giver of all good."—(Loud applause.) The Rev, Mr. MEADOWS, from China, seconded the resolution in an able speech, which was chiefly illustrative of the manners and customs el' the country to which he had been a missionary. The resolution was put from the chair, and carried unanimously. Jone Rue iteee, Esq., M.P. for Tavistock, then addressed the meeting, in proposing the following resolution : "That, as this meeting consieers that the principles of peace are dr. rivet from Divine Revelation, they desire to express the hope that the clay will soon arrive when these principles shell receive universal diffusion." The Hon. Gentleman said he took a great interest i) the Universal Peace Society, when h e remembered that its first auxiliary was insti tuted' in the borough which he represented in Venire -rent_ Mr. RUNDELL expressed his utter condemnation of war, and Isis regret at the disasters which it brought upon eoy country subject to its in. ilitence. He also expressed his indigreation et the fact that the naval and military estimates of England had been greatly increased in a time of profound peace. He ccoclUded by moving the resolution, and aho afterwards left the rn ec i tng to give his vote in the House of ' Co' n . loc r s. -3. The Rev. EZRA .. ~ C ONNELL, from the Massachussetts PeacenS,c iety, U. se second' 1:i the resolution. In a speech of erent rower he impressed open his at edience the neces s ity o f putt i ng Breit* faith their exoertions would be crowned with success. L ieutenant Joitx Hormel - , It.N., moved the next resolution, which "ass "That thi s meeting ressrectfnllY tireeMinisters of ;he Gospel in thi s country to imitate the example of all t l hem any Ministers in the United States, and endeavour to prosecute, as far as they can, the principles of peace." ria,(l..'hieoffißecve.r nl)).r.vßedeeSietctbe,airrte.solcottrding the resolution, said that if a seconding he, as a Minister of the s e, espe l , ,ould have no hesitation in s eourges of mankind—pestilence, faa-it: 'Three great ee tin were severe 'eat The two former 'ere the work of God; the tette., was exclusive) a ," at the very ' rielselit'elY the production of man. -(Hear.)

He concluded by seconding the resolution, which was then put to the meeting, and carried unanimously. GEORGE THOMPSIN, Esq., then rose to address the wee! ing, and was • received with loud and reiterated cheering. lle said his health was such as to prevent him doing little more than moving the resolution which had been put into his hands. He would move that resolution with much pleasure, because it referred to his esteemed friend who oc cupied the Chair at the commencement of the proceedings (Mr. Baines); and to his friend Mr. Bennet who now filled it. He rejoiced at the brightening prospeCts of that Society. He was happy to see present, a Rev. Gentleman there that evening from Massachusetts.. He was glad that great principles were more extensively recognised, and more vigorously applied to present circumstances than in past years.— (Cheers.) We. rejoice (said Mr. Thompson) that our friend front America has instructed us to put faith in principle—faith in the Gospel and its efficacy for removing existing abominations. I have faith, and I find if it were not for a little faith I would not be sustained in my exertions to remove an abomination to which reference has been made this evening—l mean the abomination of slavery.—(Hear, hear, and cheers ) I would say to our honoured friend that when his feet tread again the soil of Massachusetts, to remem ber the lessors he gave to Englishmen—" Have faith in principle!" I would tell him not to be dismayed by the fury of the Southern States, hut religiously have faith in principles, for the support of which I was hunted from American cities and driven from American shores. The United States of America were to be admired for the noble stand they had made in behalf of the twin sisters—peace and temperance; and appeals, arguments, and remonstrances should not be abandoned until that country remove the foul abomination of slavery from their clime. He thought that there existed throughout the length and breadth of this country a deep and unextinguishablc hatred of that most inhuman, and bloody, and Anti-Christian system—domestic bondage.—(Loud cheers.) We confess the guilt of having planted this Upas tre: in foreign lands, and of watering its roots with blood from age to age, and that it has grown to an enormous stature since we ceased to culti vate hear.) We may be permitted to cheer on the good work of pruning its branches, or of laying the axe to the root of the tree, and Hereby give justice to the insulted, and soon to be redeemed in every part of the globe on which we tread.—(lmmense cheering) War, in_ temperance, and slavery, arc wedded and inseparable.—(Hear.) They stick Eke demons to each other, and the extinction of one would be the presage of the extinction of the others. Put them together and labour against them as the common antagonists of man on earth and God in He .vets. The Learned Gentleman concluded by propos:rig the follow. ing resolution:— That the thanks of this meeting are due to Mr. Baines, M.P., and Mr. George Bennett fur their attendance this evening." This having been second,d and responded to, the meeting separated at hall-ii4t nine o'clock. LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM On Friday an e'ection took place at the Asylum in the Old Kent-road, for seven inmates to supply vacancies, there !icing at preseLt ninety. four houses occupied and seven vacant. The attendance of Donors wAs unusually numerous, and the amount of votes given f.,r the successful candidates exceeded any former number. When the votes were all received and cast up, the Donors and catidi.. gates as,embled in the Boardroom, where Mr. SournALL, the Chairman, read the names of the candidates, and the numbers po:led for each, and declared the following, haring the highest numbers, duly ele'ited • : Mr. and Mrs. Spring Mrs. Munro Mrs. Preston Mr. and Mrs. Parsons Mrs. Guyatt Mr. and Mrs Seidenberg Mrs. Lucas Mr. I)IXON (Dpwning-street) moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman, Trust:cs, and Governors, for their very great exertions in furtherance of the objets of the Institution, and for the impartiality evinced during the arduous duty of this day. Mr. Et NGLET feat great pleasure in saconding the motion, which they all knew was wall in_•ritel. The resolution was passel unanimoudy, with great applause. Mr. SournAtr., the Chairman, o❑ behalf of himself and his colleagues, begged to return their sincere thanks for the honour conferred oa them, When he took Mike, fire years ago, he did it with the determination to exert to. the utmost his humble abilities in promoting the interests of t h e I ns tit u ti on, an d he believed they were all satisfied that he had done so. As long as he should be their officer he should continue the same course.—(Great applause.) Mr. JONES (Hackney-roxil move,l a vote of thanks to their Secretary, for his great and persevering , exertions in promoting the interests of the Institution. Mr. YOUNG said he felt great pleasure in seconding the motion, which they a!I knew was well deserved. The vote was passed wi , h unanimous app'ause. Mr. JoNns, the Secretary, expressed his deep obligation for the honour which had been now repeated to him, and he hoped he should always be found to fulfil most strictly the arduous duties which devoWed upon him, and in that en7leavour fie hoped to justify the great confidence which had been placed in bins, and in some measure to merit the compliment paid to him on this and on previous occasions. No exertions on his part would ever be found wanting, and he hoped that his anxiety would be rewarded by success in its result.—(Applause.) The lit AliviAN then informed the meeting and the successful candi dates that the Board would be prepared to receive the newly-elcted in. mates, and put them in possession of their habitations that day fort night, the Bth of June, at four o'clock in the afternoon, at the Asylum; to which day he adjourned the !meting. • MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

The husband expired by his wife's side about five o'clock in the afternoon, and his faithful partner survived him only six hours.—Essex Herald. As we predicted, the enquiry into the atrocious, the most atrocious case of corrupt election ever known in the United Kingdom, has been like ether monsters smothered in its birth. By the simple expedient of admitting that 21 votes, given to " Arthur Wellesley, commonly called the M arqu i s of Douro, and '2 to Robert Scarlett, commonly called the lion. Robert Scarlett," could not be re tained, public justice and the commonly so called Honourable Robert Scarlett have been severally compromised. In no part of the process of electioneering has the Honourable lieber4sufFercel in such gcod:company. Justice and his Honourable self have never b e f ome b een seen so ch.sely coup!e.d in any of his election doings, as in this their consummation, and now it is to be feared the Honourable Robert will be prone to con. skier that he has had " justice wore than he desires,- ; .Priaclt Mercury.

The rernov,l of the body froni the littel falleYrand, in the Rue St. Florentin, to the Church of the Assumption, took place Tuesday morning. Although the ceremony was, as far as c..nsistently practicede, intended to be private, the high rank of the deceased, and still more the large space he has occupied in the public eye as a distinguished actor in the - leading events which have taken place in Europe for a period of half a century, necessarily gave the ceremonial nearly all the characteristics of a grand public funeral. The coffin lay in state for an hour before its removal to thechurch,the chamberb: ing hung with !loyal mourning, and lighted with wax tapers in the usual manner. The private friends of the deceased, and deputations from the Chambers of Peers and Deputies, from the In. stitute, and other public bodies of which the deceased Prince was a member, with nearly all the Ambassadors and other personages of the corps diphmatique, &c &c., assembled soon after ten o'clock. At an earlier hour all the thoroughfares fir the public vehicles in the neigh bourhood of the hotel had beemstopped by. lining the streets with milt tar , and stationing cavalry at the various points of intersection, a mea• sure not more requisite to give pomp to the imposing cere.rony than to guard against accidents from the extreme pressure of the crowds which had congregated in every quarter that promised a glimpse of the pro. cr's•ion in immense numbers. At precisely five minutes past eleven o'clock the cortege began to move in the following order : A Detachment of Ilussars. Municipal Guards. Sappers. Music of the 16th playing solemn airs, and the drums muffled. A Detachment of the 7th Regiment of Infantry. The Hearse, drawn by six black horses, richly and superbly caparisoned with silver ornaments, as well as the Hearse, with plumes, &c., and the pall supported by Marshal Soult, Baron Pasquier, Count Mole, and the Duke de Broglie. After which Deputations from the Institute, the Pears, Ministers. Deputies, Ambassadors, add different Corps. Servants in Royal Livery. A Detachment of the 16th of the Line. The Prince's Carriage. Six Mourning Coaches. The Duchess of. Dino's Carriage. followe'd by , Four Morning Coaches. Seven Royal Carriages. Thirty Private Carriages in liveries, closed by a Detachment of National Guards, on foot and horseback. The bear,e arrived at the church at half-past eleven, when the funs ral service immediately commenced. We understand OW low mass was sung, and that it was then towered into a vault, where it will there remain d month, and then be transported to Va:eneay, together with the bodies of the brother and the great-nephew of the deceased, and then into red. The death of Prince Tatleyrand has caused a severe shock to the health of the Duchess de Dino. " We are"assured," says the Messager, " that the statement of Prince Talleyrand hiving drawn up his letter to the Pope three months ago, is incorrect. The truth is, that he did not yield till after three days' res!sfance, and only on the day of his death, to the solicitations and tears of his family. At this time there were in his chamber rusty the Abbe Dupanloup, the Duchess de Dino and her daughter, the Duke de Valeagay, Dr. Cuveitheir, Dr. Cogny, his physician in ordinary, and M De Dacourt, a friend of the family. Thus, none of the twelve wit nesses named by the Gazette were present at the signing of the act of retractation, although they called successively, as did many other per sonages of distinction. The Courrier Francais, in continuing its estimate of Prince Talley rand's character, observes that no maxim in modern days is less practi cally applied than the well.known French saying—" On dolt des egards aux vivans, en ne dolt aux snorts que.la verite." "In France," says the Courrier," succe s absolves from every crime, from every infamy, and confers every virtue and every speciesof distinction. The man who so long rerved, moc.ked;deceived, and betrayed every Government, ap pears to us so great with the cortege of ♦ices and mideeds which sig nalised his carver that adulation is at a loss for terms in which to praise him He is not yet deified, but he is placed on an equV footing with Sovereigns, and called the last of the Grand Seigneurs, as Fleury, the actor, was called the last of the Marquises. This mark of homage was undoubtedly due to both of these comedians. If Talleyrand was great, his greatness awakened sentiments which were a powerful corrective for those whom it might dazzle or inspire with envy." The Natiur,al regards the late Prince Talleyrand as the author of the misfortunes of Fiance, and is therefore surprised at the moderation of the Liberal press in formins an estimate of one whose memory, accord. ing to this journa', can awaken only a feeling of contempt in the breast of every true patriot. The National also regrets that the school of Talleyrand has many disciples in France—men who are traitors to their country on system. • The Qrtotiaienne, on the same subject, observes, that is requires great faith to believe the exaggerated panegyric of the Prince's eulogists, who almost assert that, for the last half century, the departed statesman was a sort of personification of Providence. - From the " Secret History of the Cabinet.of Buonaparte," written in 1810.) Talleyrand de Perigord is of a very ancient family, and was destined for the Church; before thirty he was made I'•ishop of Autun, at the queen's particular request, who was very much disp'eased with his epigrams; therefore, to silence him, her Majesty was advised to prevail upon the King to make him a Bishop. This elevation silenced Talleyrand, but did not cure hint of his vices. A short time before the revolution he, together with the celebrated Ecaumarehais, was exiled from Paris for acts of swindling. He was, new rtheles<, appointed a deputy to the EtatsGeneraux, iu in his quality of Bishop. It was Talleyrand who, out of pique to the Clergy, made a motion in the Constituent Assembly, in November, 1789, for the confiscation of Church prorerty. He, with Sieyes and Dlirabrau, was the founder of the first Jambi. Club. This was the Bishop who celebrated high mass on the "a:tar of Liber , y in the Champ de Mars, on the 14th of July, 1790, and who consecrated the colours of the departments, calling them the sacred banners of Liberty., In the year 1792 he accompanied M. Chauvelin to this country as Charge d'Affaires. This appointment was particularly urged by the King, as he conside-ed Monsieur Chauvelin more attached to the revo lutionary party than to himself. Talleyrand's appointment gave likewise satisfaction to the commune of Paris, and to the Jacobinical members of the Executive Government, who knew nothing of the double game he was playing. (Talleyrand was then a pensioner of the King.) After the memorable 10th of August our Cabinet notified to M. Chauvelin that hesould no longer be recognised here as Ambassador from France. But Talleyrand informed our Ministers he had a special appointment from the King, which he could prove by producing his credentials. However, he thought proper to return to Paris for fresh instructions from the new Government. As it was their wish to have a person of contidencein England, lalleyrand received new credentials and returned here. After the death of the King, Talleyrand being afraid that our 'Go vernment would send him out of the country, contrived with his friend at Paris to obtain a decree of outlawry against him as a traitor and an emigrant, in consequence of some letters from Talleyrand to the. King, which they pretended were found i❑ the Tuileries. Our Ministers, how ever, discovered the cloven foot, and he was sent out of the country; from hence he went to America. During his stay there he was in conti nued correspondence.with his Government, and after the fall of Rubes. spietre, the sensual ex-Bishop, wearied with vegetating like tobacco leaves, returned to Europe. He remained at Hamburg till his outlawry (although only a matter of form) was reversed. Chenier was the mover of it, and it met with no opposition. On Talleyrand's return to Paris lie was very much courted; Madame de Stael introduted him everywhere. Having been in England, in America, and in Germany, he of course had a great deal to say on those countries; and as lie was the only man of any note who had returned of late from foreign parts, his conversation was liked, and his opinions had great weight. Charles de la Croix being a very dull, heavy man, it was not very diffi cult fur a man like Talleyrand to get Lim removed. His appointment was generally approved of, excepting by Rewbell, who always disliked Talleyrand, and considered - him as a dangerous man, not only for France, but for all Europe. The espionage which he established exclusively for his own purposes, to an uncommon extent, not only through all France,but over all Europe and America, has given him great influence over the couneil‘ of the French Cabinet. Whatever Talleyrand communicated to his Govern ment he always gave In the shape of an opinion ; he knew the fact from his own secret agents. When some time after the Government came to the knowledge of the fact then Talleyrand was considered as the political prophet. Buonapartc has, however, rivalled him in his system of exte rior police, and not long since he positively ordered Talleyrand, on pain of being disgraced, never to send out any agens secrets without his know. ledge. • But can Talleyrand ever be disgraced? I say no. He may have what he really has now, ofium cum dignitale, but no positive disgrace can ever overtake him. He has been the political tutor of Buonaparte, to whom no other lessons will be agreeable. Independently of this consideration, Talleyrand knows tco many secrets ; he knows the various persons in the different Government offices of Europe, as well as pi ivato individuals who are now, and who have been, the stipEndlarics of France; therefore, if he were dismissed, he could do incalculable mischief. To ged rid of him with safety, the little life thvt is in him must be taken from him. He is too dangerous a man to be provoked into a frondcur. From his appearance it could not be supposed that there was much energy of mind left ; it is impossible to see a more lifeless, ill. shaped being. His debilitated frame is moved on by a club foot, and all that is lett are the remains of fire which flash from a very fine blue eye. I am persuaded that Talleyrand has more moral depravity than any Frenchman ever possessed—not even excepting Richelieu or Mirabcatt, though he has less ta'ent that either of t he3e two. Such a mass of cor. ruption and turpitude were never before collected in the person of one man. Yet there is a certain jc ne SCaiS quoi about him whi• h makes his .company agreeab'e. He possesses the suaviter in modo to an extra ordinary degree. To Iris equals as well as to his Inferiors he is affable ; and that is not the ease with Frenchmen in general, whp are ex tremely rough and brutal to those who they think stand in need of their assistance, Talleyrand naturally commands a mote ready obedience to his orders. The requisites for a great Minister Talleyrand does not possess; he is not sufficiently read in politics or in history. • There is not a man in all France who hates and despises Buonaparte snore than Talleyrand ; and Buonaparte knows it. The Minister has but an indifferent opinion of the talents of his master, and vice versa ; but the latter says,cet homme sail trop, and for that reason he keeps him. Messrs. liauterive and Durant are the men who have, made 'raVey rand's reputation, It was they who-drew up all his diplomatic reports, manifestoes, &e. The riches which Talleyrand has acquired are immense; but this ought not to be a subject of wonder. In every Rilitical negociation he says, "II me Taut tant." What he did in the American negociation during. the Directory is well known, when he said, " II faut de Pargent, beau coup d'argent," &c. . _ But with all his riches he is not profuse, nor is he niggardly. His parties were never numerous, except when he gave diplomatic dinners. His private society is select; every evening he plays his rubber at whist, at half a louis cr louis point, with Mr. Crawfurd, an English gentleman, who had been many years in India, ➢fessrs. Montherand, Cazenove, and de Saint Fuix. _ THE CORONATION.—The preparations for this ceremony arc going on with extreme rapidity at Westminster Abbey. For the last month waggon loads of the materials, a greater part ready for immediate erection, have been conveyed by the cburch)ard of St. ➢Margaret's, and through the northern entrances into the Abbey. These materials are for the construction of the galleries and other interior fit tings, and are of the roost substantial character. At the west end of the Abbey, on the outside, the large wooden erection forming the chief en trance and necessary offices is nearly completed. It will be remembered that at the coronation of William the Fourth this entrance was painted in a very tasteful manner, and the same will be done on this occasion. From the state of forwardness in which the works now are, it is probi.ble that the carpenters will give way to the upholsterers and decorators in the course of a very short time. Those who heedlessly mix ale and porter with their wine, on many occasions inflict upon themselves much future mischief, for the body becomes quickly bloatei, and an inordinate quantity of fat is always deposited in the cellular substance of those who drink these products of fermentation at the same period.—Lancet, . . , ' PAItTNERSiIIT'S DISSOLVED.

JEFFREY' FOR MURDER. • This morning the sentence of death pronounced upon Mrs. Jett le „„ l ' at the late assizes in Glasgow, was carried into effect at th e usual pw.: of exceteion: be remembered that she was convicted of o' l nistering poison to 11. Munro, a Highland miner, and Mrs. Carl, Id both resided as lodgers in her house in Carluke. The evidence adalf a;:ainst her was circumstantial, but conclusive, and established again' her-to oof the most hideous murders to be met with in the c riminal ea ; lendar of Scotland.

She was visited by several of the city clergymen and other re, individua's, to whose instructions, and admonitions she listened spect, but manifested no symptoms of penitence. When alone she "" tb a sionally employed herse:f in reading the Bible.
